Eggs hatching soon. Please help

[Emily_Doughty]

My very first clutch of eggs will be hatching in the next week or so.
I just want to be prepared.

1)How long do I wait to feed them?
2)how long does it take for them to shed?
3)What size rat do I feed them?
4)How long can they all stay in the same bin together in a rack system? (If at all)
5)When should they be removed from the incubator?
6)Do I leave the eggs out of the incubator while the snakes are hatching or do I leave them in the incubator?
7)What determines when the hatchlings are ready to be re-homed?
8) And I'll take any other advice anyone has.
Thank you

1. The feeding day after they shed ( usually some will eat before they shed buy generally they don't)
2. A week- two weeks on average sometimes more sometimes less
3. First feeding I use live hopper mice. They really love them
4. Until they shed
5. After they shed
6. Leave them in the incubator ( I pot mine in a hatch tray on damp paper towels so the babies don't get hurt on egg crate
7. After they have eaten several meals on their own

Always try. It's what this site is for.

I pretty much do what stillbp does, the only exception being first feeding. I always attempt FT(fuzzies) rats first and FT mice(hoppers) if I cannot get the right size rat. I warm them up stick them in the hide with the snake and they are usually gone within five minutes or so. Sometimes this does not work. When it doesn't I usually end up feeding live hoppers like everyone else.

Thank you. I'll try that feeding method. Since all of my other snakes eat frozen thawed.

I don't know much about hatchlings but congrats on the babies. Post pics when they're all out.
